Diagnosis
Lateral Meniscal Tear with para meniscal cyst
POINTS TO REMEMBER
The presence of a meniscal tear on MRI is defined as distinct high signal extending to an articular surface of the meniscus.
Cysts of the lateral meniscus were more common than cysts of the medial meniscus
The cysts may present as para meniscal or intra meniscal cysts
MRI often shows a simple horizontal cleavage tear or a complex meniscal tear with a horizontal component that directly communicates with the adjacent cyst
